Control Tower product pages (in preview)

When you open Control Tower, you arrive on the Overview page. The top navigation bar includes a link to the Controls page.

The Overview page provides centralized monitoring for the evolution of your controls and the compliance of governed assets. Customization is not currently supported, bit it is a planned enhancement in our upcoming release cycles.

Number five

Monitoring charts

The charts depict the following control counts and trends in your Collibra environment, taking into account any selected Severity and Control Type filters. For all charts, you can hover over any segment to see the exact count for that severity level.

The charts display data for enabled controls only. Controls that are not enabled are not reflected in the charts.

Total controls
The total count of active controls, alongside a Severity donut chart. This chart categorizes your controls into High, Medium, and Low risk levels.
Failed controls
The total number of controls currently in a failing state, categorized by their assigned Severity: High, Medium, and Low risk levels.
Failed assets
The total number of individual assets that are currently associated with one or more failing controls. The Severity donut chart organizes these assets by risk level.
Controls monthly trend
Allows you to monitor the balance of your governance efforts by toggling between two views. Trend shows the end-of-month status, showing the total number of controls that were Passing versus Failing. Activity shows the volume of changes and events occurring within your controls during that period.
Failing assets monthly trend
Allows you to toggle between two views: Trend shows the month-over-month volume of individual assets associated with at least one failing control. Activity highlights the frequency of status changes or new failures detected for these assets during the period.

number six

Active controls

Provides a granular, list-based view of your individual governance monitors and their current health.

For a control to appear here as "active" its specific control query must be enabled on its corresponding Managed Control asset page.

Key elements include:

Status and history
View whether a control currently has a Pass or Fail status, along with a Failed Since timestamp to identify how long a specific issue has persisted.
Prioritization and type
Each control is classified by Severity (High, Medium, Low) and Control Type (such as Preventative or Detective) to help prioritize remediation efforts.
Direct access
Each control name functions as a link, allowing you to click through to an asset view for deeper investigation into why a control is failing or to review its configuration.
Management by exception
This detailed oversight helps users focus on specific violations and alerts, preventing them from being overwhelmed by the total volume of AI or data activity.

Trend versus Activity

Trend is the default view. It shows a month-over-month comparison of your control statuses. Trend data is a point-in-time snapshot. Data is captured at the end of each month, or daily for the current month.

It uses a stacked bar chart to show the total number of controls that were Passing versus Failing, helping you visualize whether your overall compliance posture is improving or declining over time.

Switching to Activity shifts the focus from status to "events". It highlights the volume of changes or triggers occurring within your controls during that period, such as new controls being created, existing ones being modified, or manual overrides taking place.

Interactive details

The charts are interactive. You can hover your cursor over any colored section of a bar to trigger a detailed tooltip. The tooltip provides the exact "position" or count as of the end of that specific month, breaking down the precise number of failing controls, passing controls, and the total volume.

The Controls page provides a centralized environment for managing your individual governance monitors. This page allows you to organize and investigate your entire portfolio of controls through a flexible and actionable interface.

Filter

The asset filter enables you to quickly find the Managed Control assets you want by scoping the page content to specific projects or initiatives.

You can create basic and advanced filters.

number two

Asset view of controls

A comprehensive asset view, providing a granular list of every control in your environment:

Health and longevity
Each row displays a real-time Pass or Fail status, along with a Failed Since date to help you track how long specific violations have been unaddressed.
Classification
You can quickly scan for Severity (High, Medium, Low) and Control Type (Preventative vs. Detective) to prioritize your remediation efforts.
Interactive investigation
Each control name serves as a direct link to the underlying asset, enabling you to deep-dive into the technical configuration or review historical alerts for a specific monitor.

To apply a different asset view, click Select view and select a view. You can also copy views, share views, and more, from this page. For complete information on working with asset views, go to Views.

As shown in the following example image, if you select one or more controls, the interface dynamically shows available action buttons.
